Quote of the Month

"This, then, is our desert: to live facing despair, but not to consent. To trample it down under hope in the Cross. To wage war against despair unceasingly. That war is our wilderness. If we wage it courageously, we will find Christ at our side.

Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude.

We held a special birthday celebration last night. FARMStrong Cam captured some of the precious moments. Check it out the LoveFest on FARMTube below.

Cousin Camp Day 2

Ok-- I know-- we missed day 2. Here's the recap with bullet commentary.
--Trip to Cincinnati Aquarium (1 hour in the aquarium and two hours in the aquarium gift shop)
--lunch at Johnny Rockets (we are the nightmare two hour lunch customers-- i.e. 4 kids meals split between the whole mob and 1 milkshake with 10 water cups. did they ever hate to see us coming!!!)
--Surfed the Newport mall and spent 1.5 hours purchasing Heelies (that's tennis shoes with wheels for you unlearned).
--SnowCones-- (we are the dream outdoor mall customers) which Cousin Eliza promptly spilled all over her feet-- picture the ice cold sugar water drizzling through her flip-flops over her toes.
--I was so disoriented by the day that I actually got lost twice in Lexington trying to get home.
--Yard Games + Arts and Crafts upon arrival back home.
--Neighborhood Golf Cart Rides
--Rib-Fest. (Mom and Dad sent us two major racks of ribs from Star City's famous Guy's Bar-b-que.
--Spirit Award Update: Joy Award to Savannah. Peace Award to David. Patience Award to Mary Kathryn. Kindness Award to Eliza. Generosity Award to Lily.
Still up for Grabs: Faithfulness--Gentleness--Self Control.
Day 3 report coming tomorrow.

The video below comes straight from the Cousin Camp Indescribable Tour. I failed to give props to the official sponsor of Cousin Camp-- Chris Tomlin.
